Chilli thoughts

Today i'm making homemade chili. Its that sort of weather this week. I'm off to a friends to watch a tv show tonight so i don't have to make dinner for the person i live with. He'll be able to heat up his own..possibly..usually that's too much work for him so he just eats sweets or whatever he can get his hands on that requires no moving from the sofa. ANYWAY...i'm going to enjoy my evening! But damn the chili is smelling good! I like making chili. Its a bit of a "comfort food". My mother would make a HUGE kettle for all of us to share. She made the best chili in the world. I try to duplicate it but it's just not quite the same. Must come with more years experience than i've reached yet.

We have a pool. We also have lotsa wind and trees in the area. Hence..leaves in the pool, twigs in the pool,,etc etc..as i am usually the responsible one in the household that THINKS AHEAD and trys to PREVENT more costs of owning a home(along with the bank)..i am usually the one to go CLEAN THE CRAP OUT OF THE POOL...but today i'm teaching a lesson. May cost me, but..its time to help someone realize the DUTIES that are to be done on a daily basis to make this place function at its best and necessary functioning home. So i recieve a phone call from a friend who is borrowing my roommate for some patio man sort of work. Very nice of him to do this. He's been there several days now during the day helping her. Today she phones me to let me know how WONDERFUL a job he's done. She's right, he does do nice work when he wants to. Needs a zillion compliments on any project he undertakes. Today he was painting posts. ..so she proceeds to let me know how he also let her know he'd scoop her pool free from debri from the high winds and also blow off the verandah patio area. ISn't that nice of him...YES IT IS BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN FUCKIN HOUSE! Can't even get him to add water unless i POINT IT OUT TO HIM THAT HE MAYBE COULD DO THAT BEFORE THE PUMPS BURN OUT! And he doesn't even ever look out the window to see if the pool cleaner is working sucking things up off the bottom. I always have to check each day and only if i ASK him does he SOMETIMES check it. After 10yrs it never ENTERS HIS MIND??? How STUPID can one person be? Same goes for a the cat that we've had for 15yrs. I can count on one hand how often he's ever changed the litter box and i can count on 1 finger how many times he's ever actually washed it out!...Like HELLO...do you really think we have fairies? I even have a sign in my kitchen that says "don't piss of the fairies"...he has no clue really what the hell that is about. I do think he believes fairies do all the work around here. By work i mean all the crap it takes to keep this place in shape to ever ONE DAY SELL IT! It's beautiful place but...i am anxious to be gone for 2months and see how it all goes.....hopefully this summer. It will be interesting! After all, as he says I DONT WORK..so we'll see how he likes to take care of the house since its not considered WORK....or else i may just come home to a pile of dust and dirt and dead pumps all over. Which would be fine cuase that's exactly how i'd leave it be until he decided maybe he should've done something..or maybe we need to find a smaller house here! I'm working on that idea. Till next time...i need to go check my chili!
